More new products are starting their McCoy season. I’ve been playing this game for 37 Years and, with all the new technology etc, etc, the McCoy seasons haven’t changed.

A few examples: yes, you can get strawberries all year but they’re never as good as June and July. Asparagus is always best April and now – August and September – corn on the cob is at its finest delicious, juicy and British.

Okay on to the shopping basket for this week with potatoes up first. Maris baird are still brill, baby washed mids are lovely. Carrots: traditional, bunched and chantenay. There are also purple, yellow and greeny yellow courgettes, rainbow and Swiss chard, caulis and romanesco, golden, candy and red beetroot – what a colourful plate!
